Would software engineers ever unionise in future, if the industry keeps getting shit every year due to AI and layoffs?

    Tech workers needed to unionize yesterday. The trillion dollar investment to automate away white collar work should have us all organizing. Unfortunately, software engineers tend to be very tepid and don’t want to rock the boat. I’ve also found myself contracting a lot lately which gives me substantially less power to organize. But even the tendency towards contracting is one that disempowers workers and makes them feel disposable.

    Unionization desperately needs to happen.
